The Old Guard

The Old Guard is everything you could want in a coastal property. You can be in the sea in1min, it’s got a perfect decking with sea views for breakfast or sun downers, good garden for the kids to run around in and the all important warm outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and wet suits. Amazing experience for the family to be in the sea with wild seals most days.The brio train set and duplo kept the kids entertained on the one wet day whilst we sat and watched the waves from the warmth of the property. Lovely 30min walk to South Milton and the Hope & Anchor pub and The Cove were great.

This retreat is beyond words. Everything is well presented, all the necessities. The views were breathtaking. The village is very cute and has very good restaurants, a bar and pub. I will not tire of the view. Great for a short drive to nearby Kingsbridge and Salcombe which are worth a visit. Nearby Bantham beach is a beautiful stretch of sandy beach. Who would have thought I would be paddling in October. Devon and surrounding areas are extremely dog friendly. I cannot wait to visit again in Spring. Thank you Wendy.

Absolutely loved our stay at The Old Guard. Spotlessly clean, the house is in the most stunning location, just a few steps to the beach. Loved hearing the waves, which was about the only sound - so peaceful and relaxing. The house is really well equipped, particularly the kitchen which had everything we needed. The beds are particularly comfortable, and with lovely linen. Easy walk (along the beach at low tide, or the SW Coast Path at high tide) to Hope Cove where there's a good little convenience store. And also the Lobster Pod Bistro which is definitely worth a visit. Thank you Wendy!

Light and airy, this comfortable cottage with beachy vibes is the perfect place to enjoy all that the old fishing village of Hope Cove has to offer. Perfectly positioned, just a stone's throw from the pretty, sandy beach of Inner Hope. Large picture windows draw in the stunning sea views and the sound of the sea pervades. Where better than to sit on the deck watching the sunset across the bay.
